Animal Center Art Show CT 2011

September 3rd, 2011 The Animal Center and ROAR hosted a fundraiser Art Show, "Celebrating Unconditional Love." The event was held on the grounds of the beautiful McLaughlin Vineyards in Sandy Hook, CT. The Vineyard is a year-round farm dedicated to the production of quality wines and maple syrup. They generously donated their land to host the event. The 160 acre site includes 15 acres of vineyards, a 2500 case winery, hiking trails, wine education seminars, sugar house, and a 50 acre wildlife and bald eagle sanctuary.

Monica Roberto, Director of The Animal Center said, " The works of art would be upbeat, and peaceful, honoring the spirit of unconditional love that animals bring to this world." The Animal Center is well known in Newtown for it's efforts fostering and placing homeless cats, as well as assisting with spaying and release of feral felines. Since March, the rescue organization has made a switch from exclusively a cat rescue operation to one that now includes dogs.
